Chapter 3

Elena Marshall's POV

"Get up you useless bitch. Come on get up right now" Someone shouted at me. 

I opened my eyes and saw Lina is standing beside my bed. 

"What?" I asked her politely. 

"I want to buy a diamond pendant for myself. Here is the money. I need it before evening" She said and throws some money on my lap. 

"Why don't you buy it by yourself?" I asked her. 

"Wowww. Little bitch got her tongue I see. Listen carefully, you useless woman. I have a meeting. And you are a useless woman so I just trying to make you useful. Now don't try to use your worthless brain" Saying this she left my room. 

I put the money in my bag. Taking my clothes I entered my washroom and took a long bath. 

After getting dressed, I came out. 

After getting ready, I took my bag and come downstairs. I saw my family was having breakfast. 

I was about to go when dad called me. 

I went towards the dining table. 

"Yes, dad" I speak up. 

"Sit down. I need to tell you something important" He said and I got surprised. 

I sat down and he speaks up," Tonight my most important client is coming to our home. I want to you stay outside until she leaves" Dad said and I smiled. 

"Why do you feel shame to introduce me as your daughter, dad?" I asked him and he stopped eating. 

"Look, just look at your mannerless daughter. Today she is asking you back. Tomorrow she will argue with you. And, who knows after she starts sleeping around. Just kicked her out from this house before she destroys our reputation" Jenny told dad and smirked evilly at me. 

"Just get out of here before I dug you here you ungrateful bitch" Dad shouted at me and Jenny and Lina smirked at me. 

I stood up from the chair start walking away. 

"Don't forget to bring my jewelry you worthless girl. I need to look the best tonight" Lina shouted at me. 

I just nodded and left home quickly. 

"I wish you were here mom" I whispered and stopped a taxi. 

"Where to mam?" The driver asked me. 

"To city shop" I answered and get in. 

Taking out my phone I start checking while the driver starts driving. 

I was busy checking the news but the taxi stopped suddenly. 

"What happened? Why did you stop?" I asked the driver. 

"Mam, something is wrong with the taxi. Let me check, mam" He said and I nodded at him. 

Soon he get down and starts checking the taxi and I start checking the news again. 

After some time the driver spoke up," Mam, the problem is big. We have to take another taxi" 

I nodded at him and paid him then get down. 

"Let's walk Elena. The weather is cool today" I mutter to myself and start walking. 

Whispering my favorite song I keep walking when my eyes fell on someone and I got frozen. 

A small kid is standing middle on the road. Just then I saw a car is coming towards the kid at high speed. 

My heart starts breathing fast. I dropped my bag and start running towards the kid while shouting at the car that a kid is standing. 

But the car keeps coming at the same speed. I saw the kid crying hard looking at the car. 

The car was about to hit the kid when I pushed the other side and fell along with him. 

The car stopped. Finally, the careless driver got back his eyes. 

I saw peoples are running towards us. 

I looked at the kid and saw him sobbing. 

"Are you hurt baby?" I asked him softly. 

The kid nodded as no and hugged me tightly in fear.

"It's okay. You are safe now" I whispered and patted his back softly. 

"What the hell your kid was doing middle of this road? Did you tell your son that the road is yours? Because of you both, I got late" Came an angry voice from the back. 

I turned towards the person and saw a man in an expensive suit looking at me with killer looks. 

I looked at him with shock. 

"Doesn't he have manners? He about to kill a kid. Instead of saying sorry he is shouting at me?" I whispered and stood up. 

"What the hell you both are still doing here. Move from here you bloody middle-class girl. What do you want money? Tell me how much you want? It is your act, right? You told your son to stand in front of my car so you can get money" He shouted at me. 

"Listen here carefully, how dare shout at me after your careless act? Don't you know how to drive? Didn't you take the training? Or you have stolen this car and running away with this you cheap man. Apologize right now" I shout at him. 

Hearing this he starts laughing. 

"Apologize! To a middle-class girl. Do you even know who I am?" He asked me rudely. 

"Who are you? Abraham Lincoln?" I asked him and his eyes went widen. 

"No? Then Barack Obama?" I asked him again and this time he looked at me with shock. 

"No. Then Joe Biden?" I asked him again and he keeps looking at me with shock. 

"No right? Then I don't need to know you. But let me told you who you are. You are arrogant, mannerless, a spoiled jerk. Oh, I forgot to mention you are an annoying rich person. Now satisfied? Or if you want I can add something more" I told him and about to go when he held my waist tightly and speaks up. 

"How dare you insult me in public? Every soon I will let you know who am I you whore" He said and my blood starts boiling. 

And, I ended up slapping him tightly and shouted at him," Don't you dare to touch me you jerk. And you called me a middle-class girl right? Do you know what you are? You are a third-class man with no humidity too" 

Shouting at him I picked up the kid and start walking towards my bag. 

"You will regret deeply. I will make sure. I will see you soon" The arrogant man said and get in his so-called expensive car and drive away. 

"All rich people are bad" I mutter and looked at the kid. 

"Where is your mommy, baby?" I asked him. 

The point towards a shop. 

"Your mom is inside the shop, baby?" I asked him and he nodded his head. 

"Okay. Then let's go" I said and starts walking towards the shop. 

When we entered the shop the kid point towards a lady and speaks up," Mommy" 

Hearing this, the lady starts running towards us. 

"Jane, my baby. Where were you? Mommy was so scared. Thank you mam for taking care of my baby" The lady told me. 

"It's okay. But next time be careful" I said and the lady nodded at me. 

I smiled and left the shop smiling brightly and start walking towards my shop. 

After completing my work I left the shop and went jewelry shop and brought a pendant for Lina. 

When I came outside my home I called Lina. She came out and took the pendant from me. Then I start walking towards the nearby park. 

When I entered the park I saw the park is almost empty. I sat on a bench and looked at the sky. I saw a star in the sky. People call it, the evening star. I saw the star is glittering so brightly although it is lonely. I start comparing myself with the star. I am also lonely as the star but the difference is that star is glittering in the light. And I am glittering in pain.
